The cause of hair loss include heredity, hormones, diet, stress, illness, and also poor hair care. Diet, Stress and illness are considered more temporary conditions and the hair loss usually can be reversed when the diet is improved, or when the anxiety inducing condition is reduced, the illness is cured, when hair care improves.
Hormones and heredity are a different matter than the temporary causes above. With heredity, the condition is not reversible, you are after all a product of your parents, and hair loss is no exception. Hormones on the other hand are a different story and they have varying and different effects on each person individually.
With males, testosterone is produced in abundance. There are enzymes that alter testosterone, this in turn produces something called DHT. DHT is known to be present in the blood and also it can cause other conditions, the shrinking of the hair follicles is one of these. If a hair follicle shrinks, enough it will be unable to grow or produce new hair. With the old hair dying constantly falling, it will not be replaced as is normally the case.
In Women, a hormonal imbalance can be the cause of hair loss. Menopause, pregnancy and even childbirth can all significantly change hormonal levels in the body leading to both mental and physical effects. This can lead to hair loss either permanent or temporary.
There have been hair loss and hair re growth products around for centuries. In the ancient times, they used a variety of oil based and herbal remedies that had ranging degrees of effectiveness.
For the most part, medical research has been focusing on ways to help to reopen and stimulate the hair follicles that are “dead”. The hair would then grow as it would normally and also helps to avoid damaging the still healthy hair follicles. This has lead to a number of products being available both over the counter and also by prescription.
One main ingredient in many of these hair loss products is Minoxidil. There has been research done to show that about 80% of people will find that this helps to slow hair loss and also can cause regrowth in some.
One product that contains minoxidil and has been shown in studies to work well is Provillus. This has an added ingredient, Azelaic Acid, which helps to accelerate the repair of hair follicles.
